Vlad and I already spoke about some form of native (or at least more easily user defined) support for SQL ARRAY types. However, I do not know that that will extend to ARRAYs of entities.
That said... all the methods to read a value on Type will be passed a Session. I think that was a mistake in the first iteration of Type to not always pass it. From Session you would have access to everything you ask about.
